Compound Trabeculectomy for Angle-closure Glaucoma

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of compound trabeculectomy for angle-closure glaucoma.Methods:70 eyes of 64 patients with angle-closure glaucoma were divided into two groups.In observed group,36 eyes of 32 cases underwent compound trabeculectomy.In control group,34 eyes of 32 cases underwent trabeculectomy with MMC.The postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP),filtration and the depth of anterior chamber were compared between two groups.Pesults:The incidence rate of shallow anterior chamber on the first and fifth day after operation were much lower in observed group (5.56% and 2.78%,respectively)than that in control group (20.59% and 17.64%,respectively)(P0.05).During followed-up 8 months,the rate of functional bubles was respectively 88.89% and 85.29% in observed and control group (P0.05),the success rate of controlling IOP was respectively 88.89% and 85.29% (P0.05).Conclusion:The application of compound trabeculectomy in angle-closure glaucoma may reduce the complications and improve the surgical safe.
